rsync does work with plink
For years rsync from the cygwin distribution and PuTTY's plink program would not work together and fail with
Unable to read from standard input: The handle is invalid.
rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer (104)
I first posted this problem to comp.security.ssh in 2005 but never received a solution, until now.
Frank Behrens published cygnative, a small wrapper program that resolves an incompatibility between cygwin and Win32 native programs. With cygnative, invoking rsync with plink as the remote shell works like a charm:
rsync -ave "cygnative plink -batch" source target
Thank you, Frank!

We are moving
We have finally settled on the moving dates to our new home: April 2 and 4. We plan to move a good portion of the boxes by car on the first day, and get a transporter to move the larger furniture, the remaining boxes, and other stuff on the second day. That leaves one day in between to recover from hauling boxes and furniture down three floors from our apartments, and then up one or two floors in the house.
Help needed!
We greatly appreciate any help you can give us with the move, including packing and unpacking, disassembling and reassembling furniture, moving stuff around, and last but not least looking after the kids (that is, feeding Daniel during the day as needed and keeping an eye on Elias when he returns from kindergarten, or taking him to the nearby playground, weather permitting). Hints and tools for moving are also welcome.
Please kindly let us know if you can help us with the move. Food and drinks will be provided at the house.
